Way to hold them to 9 runs, Andy!

With the playoff picture decided already, Andy Pettitte got a meaningless win over the Orioles tonight in an effort that looked like he was really, really trying to improve Baltimore's self-esteem heading into the offseason.

Pettitte gave up 9 runs, 8 of them earned, in five innings pitched, but still got a victory out of it to improve to 15-9 on the season.

That was due to the 10 runs Baltimore pitchers gave up in the 4th inning.

So the Yankees won 10-9, and it means nothing whatsoever.

It truly was a battle of who could care less about this game. And Baltimore came through again on that one.
